Want to present your research? Contact our friendly organisers. Up Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Who can attend the FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy sessions? Any staff or student at Curtin University is welcome to attend any FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy session they like. Please bear in mind that the Academy was created to meet the needs of early career researchers (i.e., HDR students and junior academics) within the disciplines of Management, Organisational Behaviour, and Organisational Psychology. This may mean that some of the content or examples may not be relevant to people from other disciplines. We do not wish to discourage people from attending, but just want to be careful to manage expectations When are the FOWI Academy sessions scheduled? Please refer to the schedule above, and available on the Future of Work Institute website. Occasionally, the FOWI Academy may host an ‘extraordinary’ session if, for example, a visiting academic or practitioner is available and willing to deliver a workshop. What types of sessions are there? The FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy programs were constructed after asking ECRs from the Future of Work Institute to tell us what they would like to learn about. The four themes that were identified were: contemporary research methods, life/career as an academic, how to engage with industry, and how to ensure research has an impact. Most workshop sessions will focus on topics within these four themes. Workshop presenters will generally be asked to limit their sessions to 2 hours, and to try to make the ses-sions interactive where possible. Supplemental FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy events will take on different forms (e.g., journal club, round tables). Do I need to enrol in a session before attending? Please contact Diane Garnham to register for a session (fowi-admin@curtin.edu.au) Where are the FOWI Academy sessions held? The sessions will be held on the 2nd floor of 78 Murray Street, Perth, depending on lecture room availability. We will try to notify you of any venue changes, and signs will be posted on the day. I'm not able to attend the session, will the sessions be recorded? Between 2020-2022, we ran several sessions in a hybrid format with mixed success. Our suggestion is to attend face to face, as the sessions will be designed with the live audience in mind. However, sessions will be live-streamed, recorded and uploaded to Office 365 for individuals who requests access. Please note that our video recording technology has limitations, so we cannot ensure that the presenters will always remain within the camera's frame or that the speaker and audience audio will be captured clearly. Additionally, some sessions include interactive elements that may not translate effectively to video. Do I need to do any preparation for the sessions? Please prepare in advance a PowerPoint presentation to accompany your FOWI Academy session, in some cases other types of preparation might be required. This preparation might involve installing software (e.g., R Studio), reading an article, or jotting down some ideas that would connect the topic of the session to your own research interests. Presenters will be asked to make clear whether there is any homework or preparation. Please bear in mind that most presenters are participating in the FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy on a voluntary basis, so please respect their requests to complete the preparation activities. If you have not completed the preparation, the presenter will not be willing nor able to wait for you to catch up! I would like to run a session or invite someone to run a session of FOWI Academy – What do I need to do? Please bear in mind that the sessions are planned many months in advance, last minute timeslot requests may not be available. We recommended contacting the Coordinator in advance with your preferred time slot. Please contact the FOWI Academy program committee (currently Micah Wilson (micah.k.wilson@curtin.edu.au), Lucinda Isles (lucinda.isles@curtin.edu.au, and Patrick Dunlop, patrick.dunlop@curtin.edu.au) with details on what you like to present on and when you are available. The FOWI Practice Academy program is organised by Karina Jorritsma (karina.jorritsma@curtin.edu.au) and Belinda Cham (belinda.cham@curtin.edu.au).
